On our way back from Rotorua, we stopped off in Waihi to look at the gold mine and then went for a hike in the gorge to see the old tunnels. We didn't manage to dig up enough gold to pay for lunch, but we still had a good time.
We had our first glow worm spotting in the tunnels. It's a bit hard to see them, and they look a bit fake, but I can assure you they are real. You'll see the glowing green dots in the photo below of the tunnel ceiling.
And, on our way back to the car, we even got a fantail to pose for almost long enough to get a photo. They're very active little birds and hard to catch on film, but it's a fun challenge.
